Bill, It may be useful to take a look at the Network Utility and see what kind of speed you’re getting through your WiFi card and router connection. To do this,
• Go up to the Apple menu and select About This Mac. • VO-space on the System Report button. This is where it gets a little different than usual. Use the commands I mention below to access the menubar, as I’ve found that the regular VO menu commands don’t work as they should in the System Information app. • Press ctrl-f2 to bring focus to the menubar. (Add the FN key if necessary) • navigate right to the Window menu. • Navigate down to the Network Utility item. • Select the Info tab and make sure that the WiFi Interface is chosen. Check your network speed, if there’s too many Send/Receive errors or collisions, there could be some network problems. If your speed is less than 144 MB/s, that could also be an issue. Nowadays, you should be getting at least 300 MB/s or more on a home router. I get 450 out of mine. Let me know your results. Later...

I have multiple devices accessing my iCloud account simultaneously both at home and at work. I also have a gMail account through Google App, a Pop account through my ISP, and two other iMap accounts for other duties all configured through Mail with no busy problems at all. What kind of router are you using? Are you connected via WiFi or ethernet? Later...

That is set up as an IMAP account. But, both the iPhones I have also access this account; is it possible that may be causing some sort of problem? ---- - Bill & Leader Dog Holland - "Clothes make the man.

That machine is plenty powerful enough to handle the job. Some questions to determine what may be causing the issues: 1. What Mail view do you use? Modern or Classic? 2. Do you have multiple Mail accounts? i.e.., gMail, iCloud, local ISP? 3. What protocol do your accounts use? iMap, Pop, Exchange? 4. Is your Preview pane enabled or disabled? 5. Which navigation method do you normally use? That is, navigate to message then VO-j to read it or navigate to the message then hit return to read it? • If you have multiple accounts, try disabling all but one of them. Does the busy tendency go away? If so, turn on other accounts one at a time to try to determine which account may be causing the problem. You disable accounts in Mail Prefs, in the Accounts pane. Select the accounts from the Accounts table, then uncheck the “Enable this Account” checkbox. • If your Preview pane is enabled, try disabling it to see if that makes a difference. HTH. Later...

Permissions repair has helped in the past, but it did not work the past few times. What I was finding was as I tried to read my messages, whenever this problem occurred, I was hearing “900 cells selected” or something like that, when I had selected nothing. The only thing which seems to help me is stopping interaction with messages, going into the mailbox table, deselecting mailboxes, re-selecting my InBox, stopping interaction with the mailbox table and moving to the Messages column. I don’t know why, and sometimes I have to do this two or three times, but eventually it sorts itself out. But it is excruciatingly annoying when it happens, since I cannot figure out what I am doing which causes it to occur in the first place. Good luck. Christine P.s.
